About This Quiz

When the munchies strike, would you prefer a bag of salty nuts or a bag of pork rinds? During this quiz, your taste in snacks and your snacking behavior will make a roadmap that tells us where you grew up. You are going to want a snack by the time you're done, so we recommend grabbing something before you begin.

Whether you reach for a Twinkie or you decide on a bag of Chex Mix is entirely up to you. As long as you can stuff your face and answer our questions at the same time, we are confident we will be able to pinpoint the location you called home during your younger years. We won't rely on just one of your favorite snacks to make our guess. Instead, we'll look at the sum of all the snacks you call your favorites.

As we chow our way through the questions, choose the snack or the response you feel represents your tastes for treats the best. Try not to overindulge, and we will try not to make you feel too hungry. After all, we wouldn't want to spoil your dinner!

Tell us about the snacks you couldn't handle life without, and we'll know where you grew up! Or will we?
